[0002] Gas logging is a key technology in the development of oil and gas reservoirs. This technology displays reservoir oil and gas information by analyzing the hydrocarbon gas content in the returned drilling fluid. However, the content of hydrocarbon gas in the returned drilling fluid is affected by many factors, such as drilling fluid parameters (density, viscosity, temperature), drilling fluid flow state, bottom hole pressure fluctuations, etc., which interfere with the accuracy of gas logging to a certain extent. Among the above factors, the impact of drilling fluid flow state on gas logging has not been discussed. Drilling fluid flow states can be divided into laminar flow and turbulent flow. Different flow states will affect the migration of hydrocarbon gas in the wellbore, resulting in distortion of gas logging data. In view of this, it is urgent to develop a gas logging experimental device and method that takes into account the flow state of drilling fluid in the wellbore to obtain the influence of drilling fluid flow state on gas logging data.
